577. Toffee's return gift
"Don't think so much about it. The things are mine. I will give them to whoever I want. No one can be argued with." Concubine Yu seemed to see her thoughts and comforted her.
Pei Xiaoqing felt a little relieved.
Concubine Yu started chatting with her: "After that child Yunduo went to Prince Yi's Mansion a few days ago, he never came to Prince Ning's Mansion again, and he didn't know what happened to her."
That day, Ye Qianjin angrily left Murong Yunduo, and then he went back to the door and entered the palace. He never cared about her. He really didn't see her appear in the mansion these two days.
"I'll probably come in two days." Pei Xiaoqing replied casually. Concubine Yu thought she was lonely. If Murong Yunduo could come to accompany her often, she would be more lively.
"I hope that the child is simple-minded and grew up with Yunxi as a child. He should be very close to you." Concubine Yu looked at Pei Xiaoqing's eyes and said. "She is straightforward. If you have any offense in the future, don't be angry with her. If you have any bad things, just tell me directly. I will definitely scold her."
Pei Xiaoqing smiled and praised Murong Yunduo for a few words. Seeing that it was getting late, she was going to go to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager, so she wanted to say goodbye.
But Concubine Yu grabbed her and said, "Last time I heard that your Qilin card was lost when the fire broke out?"
Pei Xiaoqing was stunned when she heard this. Unexpectedly, Concubine Yu would also care about the Qilin card, so she replied with a sad face: "Yes, Mother is very sad."
Concubine Yu frowned almost invisibly, and patted her hands and said, "That's not your fault. Who made the Qilin card so important? If you lose it, just throw it away. It may not be a blessing to hold that thing in your hand."
"Grandma, what's the use of the Qilin brand? Why do you and your mother value it so much? Isn't it just a wooden brand?" Pei Xiaoqing asked begging with her eyes.
"Haha, you'd better ask your mother. I only know a rough idea. I heard that it's related to the wealth of the Shangguan family. However, it's just a legend. The Shangguan family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and their descendants have never seen anyone who really used the Qilin card to find the treasure heirloom. It's just... After that disaster a few decades ago, the Shangguan family never thought about using the Qilin card to block the disaster. Instead, it was passed on to your mother... The Shangguan family now has no male, so it's considered an extermination of the clan."
The old concubine looked out the window with a long look, and a hint of desolation and pain slipped through her well-maintained eyes.
Pei Xiaoqing was shocked and said, "Extermination of the clan?! Are you saying that the mother's mother's family was exterminated?"
The old concubine stroked her forehead and said, "Yes, that year, she was exterminated by strangely, and the entire government and the country were shocked. There were five or six hundred people in the Shangguan family, and they were killed so much that the pregnant concubine and the child were not spared. At that time, your mother was still very young and was not at home, so she escaped, otherwise..."
When Concubine Yu said this, she seemed to feel that she had said too much, so she sighed and took a sip of tea: "Fortunately, the ancestral property of the Shangguan family is still there, so it has become your mother's dowry. Yes, since your mother passed the Qilin card to you, the ancestral property has also been passed on to you. You should learn to take care of her for a good life. Her temperament is not a business matter at all."
